Discrete singular convolution and its application to the analysis of plates with internal supports. Part 2: Applications

Part 2 of this series of two papers presents the applications of the discrete singular convolution (DSC) algorithm. The main purpose of this paper is to explore the utility, test the accuracy and examine the convergence of the proposed approach for the vibration analysis of rectangular plates with internal supports. Both partial internal line supports and complex internal supports are considered for 21 square plates of various combinations of edge support conditions. The effects of different size, shape and topology of the internal supports and different boundary conditions on the vibration response of plates are investigated. The partial internal line supports may vary from a central point support to a full range of cross or diagonal line supports. Several closed‐loop supports, such as ring, square and rhombus, and their combinations are studied for complex internal supports. Convergence and comparison studies are carried out to establish the correctness and accuracy of the DSC algorithm. The DSC results are compared with those in the available literature obtained by using other methods. Numerical results indicate that the DSC algorithm exhibits controllable accuracy for plate analysis and shows excellent flexibility in handling complex geometries, boundary conditions and support conditions.

测井曲线在识别陈家庄凸起北部缓坡带层序边界中的应用

针对陈家庄凸起北部缓坡带特殊的沉积、构造特征．应用测井曲线来识别层序边界。应用自然电位和电阻率测井曲线的组合来确定层序边界，可根据自然电位基线强烈偏移、视电阻率的突增或突减等异常现象的出现来判别；利用声波时差和电阻率曲线的叠合，在层序边界处常对应△logR的低谷值；应用累计倾角图来识别层序边界优于常规的地层倾角．累计倾角的一阶导数更能突出异常点的位置。测井曲线应用于识别层序边界，有其自身的优势，在该研究区取得了较好的效果。     

Logistic Regression Analysis of Customer Satisfaction Data

Variation exists in all processes. Significant work has been done to identify and remove sources of variation in manufacturing processes resulting in large returns for companies. However, business process optimization is an area that has a large potential return for a company. Business processes can be difficult to optimize due to the nature of the output variables associated with them. Business processes tend to have output variables that are binary, nominal or ordinal. Examples of these types of output include whether a particular event occurred, a customer's color preference for a new product and survey questions that assess the extent of the survey respondent's agreement with a particular statement. Output variables that are binary, nominal or ordinal cannot be modeled using ordinary least‐squares regression. Logistic regression is a method used to model data where the output is binary, nominal or ordinal. This article provides a review of logistic regression and demonstrates its use in modeling data from a business process involving customer feedback. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

南京老虎山黄土-古土壤剖面不同粒级组分的磁化率及其古气候意义

利用沉降离心法将老虎山黄土-古土壤的酸不溶相分离成<2μm、2～45μm和>45μm三个粒级组分,并分别测定了这些组分和全岩的磁化率。结果表明,无论是全岩,还是三个不同粒级组分,它们的磁化率都可以单独作为长江中下游地区古气候演变的参考指标。其中,<2μm粒级的质量磁化率明显大于全岩和2～45μm、>45μm两粒级,而且其分辨率也明显高于2～45μm和>45μm这两个粒级组分。本实验结果还显示,虽然<2μum的质量磁化率最大,但对全岩质量磁化率的贡献率与2～45μm粒级相当,>45μm粒级的贡献率较低。

Configurational and nonconfigurational interactions between odorants in binary mixtures.

Studies on odor mixture perception suggest that although odor components can often be identified in mixtures, mixtures can also give rise to novel perceptual qualities that are not present in the components. Using an olfactory habituation task, the authors evaluated how the perceptual similarity between components in a mixture affects the perceptual quality of the mixture itself. Rats perceived binary mixtures composed of similar components as different from their 2 components, whereas binary mixtures composed of dissimilar components were perceived as very similar to their components. Results show that for both types of mixtures, pretraining to Component A reduces subsequent learning about Component B in rats trained in the presence of A.

An Algorithm For Selecting a Generator of Z_p

How to select a generator of Zp* is an important problem in cryptographic applications, where p is an odd prime. In this paper, we mainly consider the especial case that p is a safe prime, and give an algorithm for selecting a generator of Zp*,and find all generators of Zp* , where p is a safe prime. Our algorithm is more faster than the algorithm in [1]. Based on the proposed algorithm, one could find all generators of Zp* as well, where p is a perfect prime.     

Motor fluency deficits in the sequencing of actions in schizophrenia.

Many everyday activities depend on the capacity to organize and smoothly execute motor sequences. The authors tested the hypothesis that a sequencing deficit is associated with schizophrenia. They used a new method to distinguish between lower and higher order mechanisms for the impairment. The 1st task involved triggered sequences in which sensory information from 1 movement was the cue for initiation of the following movement. Results showed that the motor sequences were performed as fluently in patients as in controls. The 2nd and 3rd tasks involved sequences in which the entire movement sequence could be preplanned. Patients executed the sequences less fluently than controls but only under the condition where action sequences were required. Furthermore, the patients' fluency deficit increased with sequence complexity. The high discrimination power of Task 3 gave the authors a means to control for a potential psychometric confound involving differential discriminating power and to argue in favor of a specific higher order motor fluency deficit in patients with schizophrenia. It is suggested that basic lower order mechanisms that integrate sensory information with outgoing motor commands are preserved in schizophrenia, whereas higher order integrative mechanisms that are required for the smooth coordination of motor sequences are impaired.
